May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: If a person takes a bath for cleanliness and intends to remove the state of minor ritual impurity, is that valid, or is it necessary for him to intend the wudu'?
Answer:
Here, the intention to remove the state of ritual impurity is the wudu'. So if he performs wudu' intending to remove the state of ritual impurity, that is the wudu'.
